Date A Live

Opening: "Date A Live" by sweet ARMSEnding: "SAVE THE WORLD" by Iori Nomizu

Synopsis
Itsuka Shido is a high school boy. On the last day of the spring holidays, an explosion destroys the town and a girl in armor appears in front of him. Shido's sister-in-law, Kotori, tells him that the girl is called "Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit", which causes a timespace quake. Kotori disclosed that she is the commander of the anti-spirit organization Ratatosk and orders him to go out on a date with the spirit girl. Kotori says, "I don't ask you to beat the spirit. Just let her fall in love with you and save the world."

Re: Date A Live

So... If a spirit falls in love she gets human again or something like that? Seems to me that SHido is going to see a lot of boobies in the near future...

Tobiichi ha shown that she is very human after all. The thought of her killing a human or rather Shido made her lose her will to fight.
A question remains... What is Shido? Is he immortal? Is Kotori really his sister?

Yep. Apparently, Tohka has lost her spirit powers with the kiss. So, AST won't be targeting her. She's safe as she's right now. I wonder how this will effect the triangle of relationship between Tohka-Shido-Tobiichi.

Tobiichi lost her will to fight back, because the reason she was so passionately fighting against the spirits is because she believes spirits do harm innocent people and she thought she had just done the same to Shido. Even if Shido was someone who she didn't know of, she'd still get devastated.
But the fact that the two have been somewhat close compared to how distant Tobiichi seems to everyone else made it worse for her.

Yeah it seems that way... But if her mind gets unstable she is able to use them again. Interesting.

Tobiichi is an interesting character who is in love with SHido for yet unknown reasons. Let's see. :3

Episode 04:

And another girl appeared. So it was no coincidence it started to rain out of nowhere in episode 3. She is able to control the weather yes?
With a monsterbunny as a weapon... :/
I wonder why her pupett has an own will... Or she is so shy that she is not able to talk with her own mouth. Yoshino is just a little girl after all.
Jealous Tohka was... Dangerous...

What I really loved was how Kotori tried to lure Shido into ecchi scenes with Tohka... Those sunglasses... :'D

- Origami She is so bold... I bet she wants to be with Shido pretty bad.
- Tohka She became jealous How cute! I wonder why she could use her powers again though...
- Yoshino - Again a very cute girl who adores Shido now. She and her bunny will be a lot of fun in the future.

Next episode will be 100% fanservice... Can't wait for Kotori to be awesome again...

Re: Date A Live

It was ridiculously funny. Tohka didn't even get into a car in her life before and called shotgun, only to pay the price later on
Since it was funny as hell, nothing much to say, yeah, but again, I'll praise AST captain for her heated lines and how she destroyed the entire surroundings for the sake of getting to that hot springs

Re: Date A Live

Kurumi-chan is so relentless
The astral dress doesn't fit her, though. I found her a lot hotter in the school outfit -now, this sounds really out of place -
I'm really curious about her powers, though. Maybe that clock thing in her eye is allowing her to time travel, hmm..

Kotori!!!
Controlling fire is totally godlike and she dominated Kurumi without much effort.
Too bad that her powers went haywire though...
We got a few answers and many more questions this week. Now it is confirmed that Kotori killed Tobiichis parents though she didn't do it on purpose. Because of Kotori, Tobiichi is fighting... :/
What makes my head spin... How did Kotori get spirit powers in the first place? Was ist someone from the Itsuka family who gave her those powers? Why?
Why do Kotori, Shido and Mana have no memories whatsoever? How ere those siblings seperated? What happened in the past?
So many questions...
But for now Shido has to save Kotori! She already implied that she loves him too, so a date shouldn't be a problem.

Last but not least... Tobiichi is very, very bold... Trying to seduce Shido in any possible way... Go get him girl!

The first half was comic relief... The swimsuit battle was awesome... Even more thanks to the commentary by the vice captain of Ratatoskr...

The date itself went pretty bad and was awkward so for... That was obvious since Kotori knows where Shidos playboy lines come from... Although the comment regarding her budding breasts was great...

Kotori herself is in pain... She has trouble keeping hr spirit powers under control... After the slide she cried and she wanted to have a fun "last" day with her Onii-chan... Good that he abandoned Ratatoskr for the time being and will only spend time with her alone... That will work out I hope.

Well that was an interesting date... Kotori could be the Tsundere she always is which was pretty adorable...

The fight itself... Well it was pretty predictable that Tobiichi would steal the new unit and head to Ifrits place... In the nd she lost because she never could kill Shido...
Though I wonder... Are spirits able to possess humans? This is still pretty unclear.

Best part was the confession and angry Kotori because Shido only loves her as a sister... Poor girl.

Furthermore the second season was announced. I can't wait!

All in all I'd say 7/10 because it was a fun ride up to that point. The animation was epic and the gags were very funny.
